Sharp as a fang and twice as stylish, this portrait of Dave Vanian captures the gothic grandeur of The Damned’s enigmatic frontman. His face glows in spectral contrast, white, yellow ochre, and electric blue, against a swirling backdrop of molten greens and fiery yellows. The marbled textures feel like a storm trapped in velvet, echoing the band’s fusion of punk chaos and baroque drama.
Pip’s tribute conjures Vanian as both icon and apparition; a figure who stalks the stage and haunts the canvas. It’s a visual anthem to theatrical rebellion and timeless cool.
🦇 Gothic to the core, and gloriously undead.
Dave Vanian, The Damned (Canvas Prints)
This print is reproduced from Pip's original hand painted acrylic artwork. It is brought to life on a premium canvas giclée print, designed to showcase every detail with rich depth and vibrant colours. The work is one of a series of 10 paintings from Wirral based artist Pip that form the ‘Eighties Goth’ collection.
Canvas prints are available in 4 sizes:
- Small 12" x 12" (30cm x 30cm)
- Medium 20" x 20" (50cm x 50cm)
- Large 28" x 28" (70cm x 70cm)
- Extra Large 40" x 40" (100cm x 100cm).
The artwork is printed on to a high quality poly-cotton blend canvas that is wrapped around a thick wooden pine frame that sits off the wall. The print image wraps around the sides of the frame so is perfect to hang straight on to the wall without framing.
Alternatively choose to add a black or white floater frame that create a striking 'floating' effect, giving the art an elegant, modern touch.
Please note that some of the images are provided for illustrative purposes to show how the canvas print is constructed. The actual shipped print will use the specific painting of the selected product ordered.
